Peter Graves Passes Away at Age 83

He was quite the Hollywood icon, and over the weekend “Mission: Impossible” star Peter Graves passed away.

The 83-year-old actor had returned home from having brunch with his family on Sunday afternoon when he collapsed and died of what’s believed to be a heart attack.

Graves was best known for his role as Jim Phelps in the television series “Mission: Impossible,” though he would later go on to spoof himself in the films “Airplane!” and “Airplane II: The Sequel.”

Surviving Peter are his wife, college sweetheart Joan Graves, and his three daughters Amanda Lee Graves, Claudia King Graves, and Kelly Jean Graves.
